Whitehouse Farmhouse

Whitehouse Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the mid-16th century, with an extension added in the late 17th century. The building has two storeys and a three-cell plan featuring a cross-passage and lobby entrances. It is constructed of timber framing and plaster, topped with a Roman pantiled roof that was once thatched. There is an axial chimney made of red brick. The windows are mainly small-pane casements from the mid-20th century, with some mid-19th century examples that include transoms. At the rear, there is a mid-20th century six-panelled entrance door.

The farmhouse showcases typical 16th-century features, including unmoulded framing, chamfered exposed first-floor members in the hall and parlour, arch wind-braced studwork, and a clasped purlin roof. There is also a hall window with chamfered square mullions. A rear wing, likely added in the late 17th century and used as a bakehouse and dairy, consists of three bays and two cells. This wing features plain framing and an unusually well-crafted butt-purlin roof for its time.
